Road Trip #2.1

Norm had to travel to a job site recently which involved a long car ride. (Over eight hours total ride time!!) But it also involved passing by Cannon Mountain, which Norm had visited as a teen. (He had driven there with a bunch of buddies to ski back in the day.) The actual lift is on the other side of the mountain. (One of the only three trams in the US.)

(Norm wanted to snap his own shot on the way home, but decided against it.)

Wild Weather #1

Norm is now sitting through what has become a daily ritual here in central New England - intense thunderstorms. The weather has included humid, warm days with rotating cool fronts which produce the heavy lines of rain.

On the bright side, the plants love it!!

Norm Cooks #1

Broiled Atlantic Cod with Cajun sauce, diced red potatoes with onions and garlic, and a garden salad.

Road Trip #1.2

Norm natually ventured up the access road only to find the gondolas were open. So he rode up to the top.

Road Trip #1.1

Norm has been doing his best to be social over the past couple months. Suddenly his neighborhood, which was mostly senior citizens years ago, has become an affordable place for young couples. Norm is now the veteran citizen. And while Norm originally purchased his shack in his twenties, all the new owners are older. But everyone seems excited. And there was a July 4th party, which gave a chance for everyone to socialize. Pretty wild.

In other news, Norm recently made his way up to Vermont. He isn't sure how many of you have ever been to Vermont, but it is quite beautiful and unique. Here is New England's biggest ski resort, Killington. The entire route to the base is all condos, rental, and restaurant businesses. Long drive but much fun.

Norm has really been enjoying Coldplay's Viva La Vida.
